i much prefer the other Artwork, but it belongs to Abisource and they want
to keep it for the Official builds versus the 'Abiword Personal' builds.
I sometimes wonder about the wisdom of having a bug as a mascot.
So all we can do is talk sweetly to the Abisource/Sourcegear people in the
hope that they will do an official build (alternatively you can get
programs to grab the old icon from the binary and reassociate it yourself
manually).
Or maybe someone else will buy the copyright and start making official
builds.
id like the old artwork, but i dont think we are going to get it any time
soon :(
